This is the swap I received from Stephanie, it is so lovely, my puzzle was crazy quilting and this one is felted wool I love the flowers in the field. I am reall enjoying this swap, I have made another piece to swap it is again crazy patchwork, it is fun messing about with all the little bits, I always seem to tip my beads up and they end up going down the sofa cushion and all over the carpet I think my hoover keeps finding the one's I miss.

What a beautiful week it has been here in England so warm with lovely sunshine everyone seems to have a smile on their face.

Yesterday we went to my Mom and Dad-in-laws to celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary, what an achievement! they are so proud of their three children and their four grandchildren and looking forward to their first great grandchild when Kate my daughter has her baby in January.

We had a lovely day with lots of lovely food,conversation and laughter, we toasted the bride and groom with champagne and there was a very special moment when Dad who is 89 and sadly suffers with dementia sang his favourite song "I Left my Heart in San Francisco" there were a few quiet tears as this once vibrant man looking so frail sang so sweetly, he got lots of applause which he loved. So a special day indeed.
